The earbuds seems particularly odd given that an ear canal is close to human body temperature (~36C) to begin with.

- xnyan 3y agoThe human body is ~36C only internally. I just used an IR thermometer, and the inside of my ear canal is currently 32C, plus a large portion the earbud is external to your ear canal. EDIT: Out of curiosity I also measured the temperature of my airpod at the ear canal tip - 27C.
- brnt 3y agoThe human body varies and it may also be 37.5C. Sick people even more. Might still want to use earphones. Ear canals get pretty close to core temp, as they're near the brain. If you're measuring 32C either you are in a cold environment or you might be misaiming (these things aren't that easy to use, or very accurate). In a warmer climate, the delta gets even less. So yeah, it's a bit surprising that wearables aren't rated for body temperature.
